22/23 New Gear review

[Ruination]

Odelfi headlamps. 2 for 20 bucks.
Best I've ever used. I wrote a post a while back.

I bought them from that post, first head lamp I had last a whole season, were comfortable, and extremely versatile. So thanks!



These ones had a red function that I like also.

Fourth season out in a steady down pour yesterday completely dry.

Me thinks you cooked it.

dont know why it leaked. I never washed or dried it for whatever period of time it didn’t leak and since I’ve followed the directions to no avail. It hangs in the closet

Did you try to send it back?

I'd imagine they'd send you a brand new one.

I invested in a pair of Walker Game Ears this year. I thought it would be a pain wearing them, but with the power boost I hear conversation even better than without them, and when the shooting starts the electronic muffs kick in. I am determined to protect the hearing from here on out. I am all too familiar (family members) with the effects on quality of life of significant hearing loss. Wear something, guys.

Someone here said something dekes being on sale so's I checked them out & sure enough: Tanglefree Flocked Goose silhouettes on sale $67/12 saved about 50% off, I bought 2 dozen! All I can say was the geese liked 'em as we killed 13 for three guys (2 man limit and 3 for one guy who arrived late)!

My Cabelas neoprene waders are still going strong after ~15 years. I use them around 20x/year. I treat with armor all and store them inside a dark closet.

I had several rounds of old Remington Premier Hevi shot in #4 lying around. This year I used them up and I was once again amazed at far they would drop a duck. Like dead dead.

I had found a couple of boxes of Original Hevishot 3-1/2" #2's and they sure did a number on some geese! BTW the sticker read $39.99 (10 per box)/box. I believe they were about 10 years or so old?

Take advantage of Sitka's warranty before they discontinue product.

On the black friday sale I bought a Sitka delta wading jacket.

Its the most expensive wind breaker I've ever bought.

When the Remington HD were discontinued, I found a few dozen boxes for ~$18/box.

Rogers Elite Breathable Waders performed flawlessly for me for a 2nd year in a row.
